Together, at last

DISCLAIMER - The posted image is a composite made by bringing two photos together in photoshop. Some viewers may find this objectionable and thats OK.
After 3 weeks of shooting the same pair of elusive hooded mergansers in separate frames it became obvious that bringing them together would take a warmed up photoshop program and lots of coffee!

Hi Craig,
I moved this image to the photo art gallery. It's an excellent composite and the single shots are superb as well.

No objections at all, Craig. Nice composite. If I had my druthers I would like to have seen a total reflection for the little guy on the left, but that's a nit.

Great pp.
